Convert PDDL planning problems to HOA (Hanoi Omega Automata) format

pddl2hoa

pddl2hoa is a Python tool that converts PDDL (Planning Domain Definition Language) planning problems into HOA (Hanoi Omega Automata) format. This enables downstream analysis with formal methods tools and automata-based verification frameworks.

Features

• Parse and analyze PDDL domain and problem files
• Convert planning goals into equivalent HOA automata
• Generate Strategy Templates for PDDL domains and problems (must install Pestel seperately)
• Compatible with tools that support HOA format (e.g., Spot, Pestel)
• Designed for integration into formal methods pipelines

Installation

Install via uv (recommended):

uv pip install pddl2hoa

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/pddl2hoa.git
cd pddl2hoa
uv pip install .

---

Usage

After installation, use the CLI tool:

pddl2hoa domain.pddl problem.pddl > edge_labeled_HOA.hoa

Or use it as a Python library:

from pddl2hoa import convert_pddl_to_hoa

convert_pddl_to_hoa("domain.pddl", "problem.pddl")

Converting from other formats to HOA

This library is designed to be extensible. You can convert almost any domain with a graph-based structure into an HOA representation by subclassing the TurnBasedGame abstract base class in game.py. Once your game format is implemented, you can call the format_hoa method from generate_hoa.py to produce a corresponding HOA graph.
